Doświadczenie awansu klasowego jako kontekst kształtowania się relacji między braćmi i siostrami
Experience of social advancing as a context of shaping relations between brothers and sisters

Summary/Abstract: The article looks at social advancement and its consequences for family members – both the experiences of those who experience social upward mobility and their brothers and sisters reproducing their parents’ class positions. The material was collected with the method of qualitative narrative interview; adults with siblings participated in the study. As the author argues, in class analyses, the emotional aspect is often overlooked, while reflection on the health and mental well-being of individuals and groups often lacks insight into the consequences of the class positions they occupy. Also, reproduction and class mobility experiences can evoke a variety of emotions for individuals. These emotions should not be interpreted only in terms of individual temperament and character. The effect of the analysis is to show the various emotional consequences of social advancement: from pride, indifference to rejection.
